Punk-rock frontmen Chuck Ragan , Tim Barry and Ben Nichols are getting ready to embark on " The Revival Tour ," which will see the artists playing solo sets and performing on each others' material.
The folk-punk series will also feature a host of special guests, including Against Me! frontman Tom Gabel , Austin Lucas, Bob Lucas, Jesse Malin , Frank Turner, Jon Snodgrass and Kevin Seconds .
The outing is set to kick off Sept. 23 in Carrboro, NC, and stop by a slew of clubs and theaters across the US through mid-December. The itinerary is listed below.
"All the tours that I've done since I've been doing this solo stuff have in some way or the other ended up with a bunch of friends onstage by the end of the night," Ragan said in a statement. "I've always loved seeing that and now I'm absolutely loving creating something like that with good friends who think and believe along the same lines."
Ragan, who has been the co-frontman for Florida-based punk act Hot Water Music since 1993, continues to support his solo debut, "Feast or Famine," which surfaced last year. When the tour wraps, he'll begin pre-production on his next album, according to a press release.
Barry, the singer of Virginia-based punk band Avail since 1987, is also backing his solo debut, "Rivanna Junction."
Nichols has been the frontman of alt/country/punk act Lucero since 1998. That band released its latest album, "Rebels, Rogues & Sworn Brothers," in 2006.
Gabel is scheduled to join "The Revival Tour" Oct. 31, after Against Me! wraps its upcoming US jaunt with Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. The vocalist's politically charged, seven-song solo EP, "Heart Burns," is due Oct. 28.
